The man, who reportedly displayed a handgun, entered the small store about 1:30 and "forcibly" took items, police said on their Facebook page.

Police Lt. Matthew Gerould later clarified that it was money that was taken, something he also said on Wednesday.

The black man being sought is between 5 feet 9 inches and 6 feet tall and has a medium or large build, police said. He was wearing jeans, a long-sleeved East Stroudsburg University shirt with a basketball icon on the front, and a white baseball hat, police said.

The man left the store carrying a white shopping bag and was last seen moving east toward Locust Street, police said.

No one was injured during the incident. Police say the investigation remains active.

If anyone sees the man, call 911, police said. Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call Detective Matt Rush at 610-250-6639 or the department's anonymous tip line at 610-250-6635.
